Dream Away
Dream Away: Navigating the Depths of Hope and Despair
Lyrics
I was busy dreamin', buildin' us a world
I was occupied with dreaming, constructing a world for both of us
They dreamin' up a good life
Others were dreaming of a good life, free from pain and corruption
That wouldn't hurt and wouldn't spoil
An ideal life that wouldn't cause harm or decay
The sun never set there, the water clean and pure
Imagining a place where the sun never sets, with clean and pure water
In the beauty there was purpose, so certain, safe, and sure
In this beauty, there was a clear purpose, a feeling of certainty, safety, and assurance
I could live this life forever but from far, far away
I could live in this idyllic life indefinitely, but it felt distant
I thought I heard you callin', you said I could not stay
Heard a distant call, realizing that staying in the dream wasn't possible
And I woke up in a fever, our calculations were wrong
Woke up with a fever, realizing the calculations for the dream were incorrect
The pillows could not hold us and the angels are gone
Pillows couldn't contain us, and the dreamlike angels were no longer present
When hope makes you bleed
Hope can be painful
When life gets you down
Life can be challenging and disheartening
There's all the love you need
Despite challenges, love is abundant
Underground
Found in the underground, a hidden and unconventional source
To make a way for the dark hearts
Creating a path for those with dark hearts
To feel the love I found
Discovering a profound love
There's all the love you need
Reiterating that love is available, especially in unconventional places
Underground
Emphasizing the underground as a source of love
We dream away
Repetition of the phrase "We dream away," emphasizing the act of dreaming
We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-Picture of a sunset above a turquoise tide
Describing a picturesque scene of a sunset over a turquoise tide
The beauty of a just world and the convenience of a lie
Contrasting the beauty of an ideal world with the convenience of a lie
I tore down that picture, there is no other perfect life
Rejecting the notion of a perfect life, acknowledging the imperfections
But in the dirt under my fingers, maybe something will survive
Finding potential for growth and survival in the midst of difficulties
When hope makes you bleed
Repetition of the theme that love is found underground, especially in difficult times
When life gets you down
-There's all the love you need
-Underground
-To make a way for the dark hearts
-To feel the love I found
-There's all the love you need
-Underground
-We dream away
Continued emphasis on the act of dreaming, repeating "We dream away"
We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
-We dream away
Final repetition of "We dream away," concluding the song with the focus on dreaming
